And so It has gone on here for

The 34-yrar-otdl Italian has cll

saved his crown by the technicality
of forcing Corbett to romo In a pound

Less than five montlis before, also
in a San Francisco ring, Corbett won
a ten round decision over Jackie
Fields, then ruler of tho 147-pound
division. 1U too, was an over-weight
match.
The Fresno southpaw's record Is
one of the remarkable of the box

Ray Alvls, manager of Thompson,

frit Corbett would win and that the

For a topnotcher. Corbett's purses
have been drlbblings compared to

Thompson, he received $10,000 and
$8,000 respectively. Fields' share was

Corbet t's consolation is that as he

him out and say: 'He licked two
